FDA Slow on Enforcing Tobacco Regulation

RICHMOND, Va. — A year after a new law put tobacco regulation in the hands of the Food and Drug Administration, one thing is clear: It will likely be years before any of the most aggressive steps to reduce deaths from smoking might happen.

When President Barack Obama signed the bill into law last June, anti-tobacco advocates suggested it could lead to a reduction in nicotine levels, a ban on menthol cigarettes or other aggressive moves.

Such moves are still a long way down the road as the FDA takes its time assessing the scientific evidence for what would best improve public health. That leaves the future of the industry and effects on both companies and consumers under a cloud of smoke

Tobacco Tax Set to Increase in State Senate

COLUMBIA — Two controversial parts of a $5.1 billion House-passed budget may not survive in the Senate’s spending plan, senators have told The Greenville News .

One provision would prohibit the state health plan from paying for abortions for women who are victims of rape or incest, while another would raise the state’s 7-cents-per-pack tax on cigarettes to 37 cents.

Senators said they prefer that the cigarette tax issue be settled in standalone legislation already pending in the Senate instead of in the budget, where it would only last a year.

Kids and Smoking Lies

At least since 1994, when seven tobacco executives testified before Congress that they didn’t think cigarettes were addictive, the public has not put great trust in those who sell carcinogens for a living. What Americans may not realize is that they also shouldn’t believe the people who are supposed to protect us from tobacco. When it comes to cigarettes, the federal government can blow smoke with the best of them.

That became clear the other day, when the Food and Drug Administration announced it was prohibiting the sale of cigarettes with candy or fruit flavors. “These flavored cigarettes are a gateway for many children and young adults to become regular smokers,” said Commissioner Margaret Hamburg. The ban, said Howard Koh, an assistant secretary at the Department of Health and Human Services, “will break that cycle [of addiction] for the more than 3,600 young people who start smoking daily.”

$300 million Awarded Against Tobacco Company

A jury in Broward County Thursday bestowed a record $300,590,000 verdict in opposition tobacco giant Phillip Morris, USA, including bona fide 4 million in punitive costs alone. The verdict is the biggest ever in Florida against a tobacco company.

Airport Ponders Smoke Ban Outside

Lee County commissioners directed airport staff Monday to study prohibiting smoking on the grounds of the airport and at the Page Field general aviation facility.

A ban would apply to both airport workers and members of the public. Smoking already is prohibited indoors at county airports. Airport director Bob Ball said staff would have to study how to police the situation and also janitorial issues if, for example, they removed the ash receptacles.

Heart Attacks Cut by Smoking Bans

Smoking bans–love them or hate them–appear to reduce the risk of heart attack and heart disease of nonsmokers, a major government report concludes.

It’s a finding that many researchers had expected. As smoking bans proliferate around the globe, health officials’ major argument for implementing them is to prevent illness in non-smokers.

FDA Implements Tobacco Regulation

SILVER SPRING, Md. — The Food and Drug Administration has taken significant steps toward setting up the nation’s new anti-smoking agency, less than 90 days after the federal government was given the authority to regulate tobacco products.

 

The FDA has named Dr. Lawrence Deyton of Washington, D.C., to lead the Center for Tobacco Products, which will decide on rules for the manufacture, marketing and sales of tobacco products. And it has established a scientific advisory committee and is seeking nominees to provide input for the FDA’s tobacco regulators.

Tax on Cigarettes not enough to Stop Smoking

After months of standoff, Connecticut lawmakers adopted a state budget Tuesday. In the final days of the debate, the one issue both sides seemed happy to agree on was increasing the tax on cigarettes. The proposal they settled on will increase the tax from $2 to $3 per pack, one of the highest in the nation.

 

While Gov. M. Jodi Rell said “sin taxes” such as this are acceptable because people “don’t have to smoke,” there has been no conversation about how to help people break their addiction.

The military to ban smoking?

FORWARD OPERATING BASE FALCON, IraqGen. Douglas MacArthur had his signature corncob pipe. Soldiers got cigarettes in their C-rations during World War II. Even today, America’s war on tobacco seems to have largely bypassed the military.

 

Now a proposal to make the forces smoke-free is drawing strong reactions from troops who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, even though the Pentagon itself says any ban is a long way off.

Gates rejects tobacco ban for troops in combat areas

The Pentagon has moved to cut tobacco use among soldiers for years. Cigarettes haven’t been included in ration packs for more than 30 years. Smoking and sales of tobacco are regulated on military installations, including ships at sea. Even in Iraq and Afghanistan, smoking is an outside-only activity and forbidden on patrols.

In June, the Institute of Medicine released a report on what it called the high physical and economic costs of tobacco use among troops. The report, “Combating Tobacco in Military and Veteran Populations,” was prepared at the request of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the Defense Department. It recommended gradually phasing out the use of tobacco in the military over as long as the next 20 years.
